New Scale
Cuts Down
On Errors
An eleclronlo seal for llvaatock
weighing, permitting great accura
cy and speed and eliminating
nearly all possibility of error haa
been developed by tha Production
and Marketing Administration of
the UHDA.
Animals art weighed thru elect
rical Impulses and preasurea ara re
corded electrically. When certain
buttons ara pressed, weight, num
ber and type of animals, name of
weigher and selling agency, and
dale and tlma of weighing are print
ed automatically. It la impossible
on the new scale to register any
thing but tha load actually on the
platform and It la accurate to with
in five pounds on loads up to 13.000
pounds.
Blnce tha new scale can be re
balanced with a push-button, accu
mulations of dirt, manure, rodent
interference, or Intentional manipu
lation of the scale art eliminated
aa a source of error. Tha dial can
be read ten feet away.
Detailed report on tha seal ara
being prepared for release shortly.
Nitrogen Applications Aids
In Rotting Field Straw
In field littered with straw In
region of more than 20 Inchea an
nual rainfall, 20 pounds of avail
able nitrogen applied for each ton
of surface material will help rot
tht straw and provide nitrogen for
the succeeding crop, saya Leroy
Warner, OHO estenalon soil conaer
vatlon specialist.
Where excessive straw la mixed
with tht soil and allowed to rot
unaided, a temporary nitrogen ;
shortage may result, tha specialist1
point out. This will adversely af- 1
feci tht succeeding crop. !

nitrogen would mean spreading 100

Old Records

Last week tht city council voted
to chama plan to destroy record

However, It wa felt that storing
them In the city hall would make
them more available In tht event
an occasion arises to dig Into old

Th record older than 10 yeara

Tests carried on In Wasco county
In 1M8, showed that wheat yields
were Increased about eight bushels
per acre for tha first 20 pounds per
acre of available nitrogen applied.
Yields were about 14 bushel bet
ter where 40 pounds of available
nitrogen wa put on. Th average
annual rainfall of thla area I 11
to 13 Inches, but 1D4A waa a better
than average moisture year.
Figures are not yet available for
the 1049 crop year, Warner add.
Yields ara expected to be higher
aa the result of the nitrogen ap
plication. No burning wa evident
from applications up to 800 pound
of ammonium sulphate per acre la
spite of tht dry season.
In moat areaa ammonium sul
phate la preferred over ammonium
nitrate because It will not leach aa
badly In tht event of heavy rain.
